Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are making sure they get their alone time in as parents. After adopting their first child in the summer of 2025, they were spotted enjoying a night out in New York City on Sunday.

A new chapter for the couple

After secretly tying the knot in 2024 before celebrating with a larger wedding in Italy, Brown and Bongiovi quietly entered an entirely new chapter together when they became parents last year through adoption.
The couple surprised fans when they announced they had welcomed a baby girl, choosing to share the news on their own terms while asking for privacy as they adjusted to life as a family of three.
Since then, they've offered only small glimpses into parenthood, keeping their daughter's identity largely out of the spotlight. The only clue to her name is a photo of the Stranger Things star holding a pink phone case with the letters “R,” “W,” and “B” in red, possibly pointing to her daughter’s initials. "R" being the first name, "W" the middle, and "B" the family's last name.

In a recent UNICEF video, the actress admitted that the amount of love she feels for her daughter caught her completely by surprise. "I don't understand how so much happens in my heart. It's incomprehensible," she said.
She also revealed that one of her biggest goals as a mother is raising a confident daughter who grows up surrounded by examples of women supporting one another. "It's a real responsibility," Brown explained. "I try to learn as much as I can and feed it into her life so that she knows nothing other than girls supporting girls, women succeeding, women achieving their dreams."

Both she and her husband come from families with four children and have always envisioned a similar future for themselves. "Take it one day at a time," Brown recently said of their parenting philosophy. "My husband and I always say today was today and tomorrow is tomorrow. Let's just sleep tonight."
